Apparently Wikio is huge in France, a reason as good as any to take a look at the not even close to ready to launch English beta version. Yeah, I know, beta usually means there’s stuff left to do, or it should anyway, Web 2.0 sickness and all that crap.
The idea is to let you choose from various news sources in a bunch of categories, sorry, tags – Web 2.0 again… While most of the site seems to work well enough, the documentation is poor at best.
Google News beware? Somehow a doubt it, but best of luck to the Wikio folks. Who are they by the way? Oops, Pierre Chappaz, the French guy who founded Kelkoo… Maybe should keep an eye on this Wikio thing, he’ll probably sell it to Yahoo or something.
Hat tip to Mr. Jones (via email).
